Watopia is today anyway.

Watopia courses



With the Zwift pc hack you can select it. Trouble is it needs others to race with.

I've not had a proper go yet without setup issues clouding my performance, so another race probably next week, if its on the schedule

And if you're using apple-tv you don't have the ability to switch. It's probably long past the point where folks should be able to select their "world" -- I would expect that if that capability was made official we'd probably still have enough riders in Watopia, London and Innsbruck. Richmond would probably die off (which is fine with me).

Richmond is probably the least liked course, due to being so flat. The new Innsbruck course is either flat-ish short or a climbers long course so has both interests

From an IT point of view is there any reason why you shouldn’t do the “hack” for all courses? And why do we think zwift don’t make it official?
Just curious.

@bert1971, do you experience any delay in Zwift with your Ryzen PC? I have just ordered a Ryzen 5 2600 bundle and will be building a new pc,

I'd imagine that you won't have any delays with Ryzen. I'm not having any with my FX-8750 setup.

I’ve gone from a very old abused overloaded laptop to Ryzen and the difference is amazing. I haven’t experienced any delay
That’s about as technical as I can get as I’m not very IT

The Ryzen is an APU, meaning it has build-in graphics in the processor chip.

 

[LBHIFI]

Correct me if I’m wrong but can the graphics card be upgraded? Would it be worthwhile as I only use it for zwift?

If you install a graphics card, you can use that instead of the build-in graphics. However, the Ryzen's build-in graphics seems to get good reviews, so you could be looking at considerable cost for a grapics card that will superseed it.

I was thinking that. I’m very impresssed with how it is anyway thanks

The segment starts across the river bridge and goes to the top corner .it's about 3 miles from the start

Watching the women fly up that little lump in the worlds .... why does it seem so much longer when I do it compared to what it looks like on the TV?!? really cool though watching the racing on a course I've been racing on myself for the past for months.

Yep, I was thinking the same.

Probably helps not carrying 3 stone of excess carcass

I've found Innsbruck a little boring - will have to ride the full route though.

Have you timed them, I bet they take 40-50secsonds

I reckon it will change when in a race scenario. The scenery goes into a blur and it's becomes a series of bumps which you are trying to muster extra power to get over. I tend to get not to think about a course whilst racing. Pootle ride it's a bit different.
